<h2>MISSION</h2><p>The VTP FB76 fuze is a proximity fuze to be used with 76mm L62 HE and PFF ammunition.In addition to air defense roles against aircrafts,missiles and small boats, it offers shorebombardment capability.</p><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2><p>The VTP FB 76 fuze is fully compliant with the requirements of STANAG 4187 and it was designed, developed and tested in accordancewith the criteria of MIL-STD-331. The fuze proﬁle is compliant with STANAG 2916 pag B-11.The fuze is a self-powered radio transmittingand receiving unit, operating on the base of theDoppler effect. Two operating modes are selectable electrically at the time of ﬁring: P  Proximity + Point detonating + Self -destruction. The fuze is set to initiate detonation when proximity with the target is detected. Point detonating function is provided as backup,  in event of direct hit.  Self-destruction is activated if neither of the above conditions occurs. P  Shore bombardment - Point detonating. In this mode the fuze activates detonation at a given height above the ground.</p><p>PACKAGING</p>
